about this ebook

Gong is in a unique position to pour over 1,000,000+ sales conversations and return with insights only they could pull off. Like the fact the highest performing sales reps don't bring up price until 40 minutes into a call (to prevent cost from establishing itself as a barrier in a prospect's mind), but mention competition early (to get them off the prospect's mind ASAP). Or that they're speaking for less than 50% of a call. But most dazzlingly, there's a single sales call tactic that improves your chance of closing a deal by more than 250%: having one call that includes you, the prospect, and another representative from your company.

What we loved:

This free business book on effective sales conversations has so much data that it’s practically a data report. Granted, all the data comes from Gong’s own Sales calls, but nothing gives weight to insights like some hard data.

What we didn't love:

While the advice is actionable and there is a checklist at the end, we would have loved to see some snippets of actual sales conversations (or even made up ones) to give the insights greater context.

Summary:

Gong’s free guide is page after page of beautifully-designed charts and graphs that weigh in on everything that could affect the outcome of a sales conversation. From talking speed to language, there are quite a few things you probably didn’t know. For the things you did know (sell value, not features), it never hurts to have some extra data to back it up.
